About the game

What you do in a play session

Twist19 is a fast and fun card game where the goal is to get rid of your cards before the other players. Each round is a race to play lower-value cards than your opponents, but watch out for the special cards! The Banana makes a player lose a turn, the Pineapple changes the game's direction, and the Fruit Salad forces someone to pick up all the played cards. Strategy and timing are key to winning, but chaos and laughter are guaranteed. In the end, the player with the lowest score wins! Perfect for group play and guaranteed smiles.
